Distributed Satellite Resource Management for Defensive Counterspace

The objective of this effort is to tightly couple automated SSA assessment and DCS response decision aids to provide prioritized response alternatives to assist space operators to manage competing objectives, coordinate responses, and rapidly prioritize response alternatives within dynamic environments. The DF&NN team will develop the threat scenario data using new intelligence data sources, extend the JSARS SSA capability, analyze response management alternatives, and then design and develop an interacting combination of situation assessment and response management algorithms for an automated closed-loop DF&RM feasibility experiment. We propose new data sources and response resources to drive improved SAFIRE coordinated data fusion and response decision aids with SSA/DCS Battlespace Visualization Initiative (BVI) visualization capabilities that will support the JSpOC and space squadron operators. The sensor data is planned to be obtained through an experimental MTSI-related program that links BMDS COMNET to AFSPC, from AFSPC/A9, from the Space Catalog, and from the Blue and Red space order of battle (SOB). The DF&NN team will provide MTSI Subject Matter Experts (SME) personnel to help define plausible and relevant scenarios that will highlight SAFIRE envisioned operational utility and define the appropriate concept of operations (CONOPS). The effort will be closely coordinated with the SAFIRE team.
